This is a family favorite at holidays, Grandma’s Bread Dressing! It is super simple to make with just a few basic ingredients it is so moist and full of flavor. A definite side dish on our family table!
This recipe is from Chris’ side of the family and is super delicious! The recipe is from his maternal Grandma and his Mom still makes it for family gatherings and we plan to keep that tradition alive. I am glad to be able to share this recipe.
I think it’s amazing how really simple basic ingredients put together right can make such a fabulous dish that is made for generations. Literally white bread, celery, onion and chicken stock! Well and of course poultry seasonings.
And can we talk about poultry seasonings for a minute? We all buy it for Thanksgiving and then it sits in the spice rack for another year, very few if any year around recipes call for it, but do yourself a favor and buy fresh every year!
Grandma’s Bread Dressing
I am totally team dressing over stuffing! While I hate the word moist there is no other word to describe the biggest difference to me between dressing and stuffing! I love cornbread but I prefer to use my cornbread in this salad as opposed to my dressing!
